Over time, the combustion chamber’s eective yet porous insulation can become worn and
damaged. A crack in the back plate can cause secondary air to become incorrectly distributed
in the combustion chamber, and it should therefore be replaced. Cracks in the other plates will
not aect the eciency of the wood-burning stove. They should, however, be replaced when
worn down to half of their original thickness.
Automatics
The spring in the automatism should be controlled at least once every second year.
(Drawing G): Lift the top plate o the stove. Lift the rear plate of the stove. On a cold stove, the
starting point of the feeler is controlled. The starting point on a cold stove is about 10
0
above
horizontal. It should feel easy going and bouncy when you push it, no matter if the stove is cold
or hot. Mount the rear plate and the top plate again.
Surface Treatment
It is normally not necessary to treat the wood-burning stove’s surfaces. If the lacquer has been
damaged, you can repair it by using a special senotherm spray, which can be purchased from
your local wood-burning stove dealer.
Chimney Sweeping
In order to prevent against the risk of chimney res, the chimney must be cleaned once a year.
The smoke pipe and smoke chamber above the steel smoke deector must be cleaned at the
same time as the chimney. If the chimney’s height makes cleaning from above impossible, a
cleaning hatch must be installed.
Service Inspection
WIKING recommends a thorough service inspection every other year, so that your wood-
burning stove will last for many years. The service inspection must be performed by a qualied
serviceman, and only original spare parts should be used.
Among other things, a service inspection includes:
• A thorough cleaning of the stove.
• Greasing of the hinges with copper grease.
• Inspection of the heat-insulating plates (the vermiculite set).
• Check that the regulating lever moves smoothly.
• Inspection of the seals and the replacement of worn parts.
If you have any questions, please consult our FAQ page at www.wiking.com, or contact your
local wood-burning stove dealer.
